Dale, I read it in the morning paper, but I appreciate the
electronic version (because it can be saved). Thank you!
Looks like Fujitsu gained the most market share, and both,
SEG and QNTM lost some. But the big 3, SEG, QNTM and WDC,
should survive. IBM is a special case because their business
does not depend on storage alone.

Excerpt:
Today seven companies account for 93.5 percent of the total drive market. Among the 13 or so companies that make up the ''other'' 6.5 percent of the market loom integrated electronics giants such as Hitachi, Samsung and NEC Corp.


So much for "easy to enter". It's even easier
to lose your shirt in this business and only the
big are expected to survive.
